Answering "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_advantage_of_asexual_reproduction_for_a_population_of_organisms"
It leads to speciation. many species in nature have evolved by this method.
ones a hore and the others not
The key component of evolution is reproduction of the species.
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. This can be harmful to the species because they have less genetic diversity in their population.
Sexual Reproduction is superior to asexual reproduction mainly for the reason that it involves gametes from two different individuals. This improves chances of variations which is the basis of heredity and evolution. In asexual reproduction, only one parent's gamete is involved. Thus the offspring is liable to have all the characteristics ( and defects) of the parent which doesnot allow variation.
Sexual reproduction requires two parties, whereas asexual reproduction requires only one. For example, reproduction among humans is not asexual, because there must be both a man and a woman involved. Bacterial reproduction however IS asexual because it reproduces by itself through binary fusion.

Reproduction occurs in two main types sexual and asexual. Asexual is the reproduction in which involves only one individual from a species. Most Asexual reproduction occur in single cell organisms. Example of asexual reproduction can be found in self pollinating plants. Sexual reproduction occurs when two individuals trade genetic information to produce a new individual for a species.
When the condition are not favourable, Paramecium reproduce asexually. Asexual reproduction is reproduction of a certain species without involving both sex(male and female).
Mitosis, Meiosis, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction
The key component of evolution is reproduction of the species.
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. This can be harmful to the species because they have less genetic diversity in their population.
Asexual reproduction does not allow for bio-diversity. Therefore if a disease comes along and effects one of them, the entire species will be very susceptible to the same disease, and entire species can be wiped out
Asexual reproduction means that animals or plants only have to have one of their species, as sexual reproduction means that they (or we) have to find someone of the opposite gender.
